This blog was initially set up to detail my thoughts and experiences on taking early retirement from my job at Stratford District Council, and how I prepared to walk from John O Groats to Lands End in 2010. In 2011 I took up the challenge of running a half marathon and this now forms the majority of the blog.

We're all goin on a summer holiday

Sorry Viv, decided not to update my profile after my birthday - I reckon 57 is as old as I want to get.
Just boarded the Jersey ferry for the start of our holiday. Its raining of course.
I am lucky though as I originally intended to start JOGLE to arrive in Cornwall this week. If I had done that I ould have had to walk well over half the distance in the rain.
Travelling today has made me laugh. I've just spent 10 weeks with only 3 shirts and 5 sets of socks and undies. I've brought 15 of each for this week.
